Eyes Of The World

The Sportatorium

2/26/77 is my fav ‘77 show, but I have a hard time squaring that with this one. Just astounding from start-to-finish, song-to-song. And no different here; what an version! Jerr is on another planet: focused, yet improvisationally brilliant. The stamina!!!

Dis da one! I love me some 9/24/76, but this one can’t be beat! (And just so happens to be joined by several all-time versions, including a top-5 Eyes).

You’ve gotta love this…!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 20, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

Best Scarlet of ‘84 for the 2nd totally outrageous Jerr solo alone, but the 4/13 Fire can’t be beat, even with Jerr going HAM this entire show + the super-smooth transition jam. I mean, it’s a week later, they were rolling…

Yeah! After that all-time + epic S>F, they keep it rolling and we get a great Estimated!
